Het echte topmonument van Praag is natuurlijk de 216 meter hoge brute televisietoren uit 1985. Met de baby’s van David Černý.

Interesting #art #sculpture seen in the #Prague airport. "Pegasus", 2010.
"Pegasus" by David Cerny is a sculpted chimera between a three-blade propellor mounted on a cowled radial gasoline engine, and a pair of hoofed rear legs from a horse or ox. A tail reminiscent of an airplane empennage rises from behind. It is on display at the Prague airport in Czechia.

Reading, thinking, doing October 2025
I’ve been reading about the end of the world, walking from Kings Cross to Wapping, and making zines. This blog is what I do instead of starting yet another Substack newsletter. You can subscribe to…

It was very quiet but nice to sit outside on a fine day. Only had 3 small beers! Dragged to Reading so OH could get a jab. Including the Nags Head was the compensation. Retirement suits me!

Haven’t done any drawing for months, but have finally picked up a pencil. Feeling very rusty, but it’s a start.

On Saturday, I saw Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, One Battle After Another.

It resonates with, and winks at, growing political violence in the US, echoing & heralding what I fear is more darkness to come.

The film is an instantly iconic artefact of our plosive political moment: 🧵

As @boakandbailey.bsky.social were saying earlier, the classic Belgian beers in the classic Belgian biercafes are hard to beat 🍻 🇧🇪
